Marie writes: Much beloved and a never ending source of
amusement, Simon's Cat is a popular animated cartoon series by the
British animator Simon Tofield featuring a hungry house cat who
uses increasingly heavy-handed tactics to get its owner to feed it. Hand-drawn using an A4-size Wacom Intuos 3 pen and tablet,
Simon has revealed that his four cats - called Teddy, Hugh, Jess and
Maisie - provide inspiration for the series, with Hugh being the primary
inspiration. And there's now a new short titled "Suitcase". To view
the complete collection to date, visit Simon's Cat at YouTube.

If you haven't heard about Stephen Glass, who was a former employee of the New Republic, you may think he is a nice lad who occasionally screws things up while you watch him at the beginning of "Shattered Glass" (2003). Sometimes it's not easy to be angry about him because he is so sweet and considerate to the people working with him. If it seems they find a problem or error caused by him, he quickly admits and apologizes to them while looking like he is nervous about whether they won't like him any more for that. He frequently asks to them as if he wanted to check that: "Are you mad at me?"
